only the 8 hours in the sleeper can stop your 14 hour clock.
I use this because I have multiple deliveries on most days and if I sit for more than 2 hours getting loaded or unloaded I can shave two hours off my 10 hours in the sleeper. More time running and keeps the 2 hours sitting from being wasted time.
basically, the two work periods on either side of the 2 hour break can still not exceed the 11/14 hour rules, then once you take the 8 hour sleeper, the work periods before and after the sleeper period can not exceed the 11 hour rule. once you start using split sleeper, the only thing that can stop it is a 10 hour break.
Just some of the stupid things I see

Had another head shaker today. Had a 18 year old male driving a car and strike another car. One passenger jumps out and rolls out. The other driver gets out to see if everyone is ok and change information. The 18 year old male, takes off and a lookout given of the 18 year olds vehicle. Within 30 seconds another troop locates him and activates his lights and siren. 18 year old takes off, running through parking lots, jumping curbs, running through peoples yards and comes out on the dual highway I was on sitting at a red light. I was in the hammer lane sitting at light when I see him coming up behind me. He hits the slow shoulder to try and pass all the cars ahead of him and run the red light. The traffic was steady coming through the intersection. I look over at him, he's on the phone running his mouth, impatiently lurching forward waiting to run the light when the traffic got out of his way. The other troop was on his arse lights/siren going. This fella hasn't seen me yet, when I hooked in front of him and boxed him in. I could read his lips, "Oh sheet!!!I'm trapped" he kept screaming into the phone.
Then einstein decides to try and run on foot. He didn't make it 10 foot before he was dropped. Turned out he was on the phone with the guy that jumped out at the accident scene and fled on foot from there. Before we left the scene with him, the guy that jumped from the car (and who he was talking to when he was aprrehended) shows up where we were to tell us how to do our job.
So he got hooked to on disorderly, hindering and disturbing the peace. Really running for no reason, except it was his grandmother's car. To say the least when Grandmom showed up all I heard was her saying "When I get you two idiots home I'm going to find a baseball bat for your arse." Tore her car all to heck.
